    One thing is clear: God of War III is phenomenal. It succeeds for a plethora of reasons that go well beyond its beautiful graphics. Unlike the competition, it doesn't take several hours to get going, or burden the player with laborious upgrades.

    This is a video game developed at the very highest level and takes what I thought was possible to new heights. God of War 3 is easily the best PS3 game I've played and sits comfortably as one of my favourite games of all time.

    While not a huge leap forward for the franchise, God of War III refines its already-fun gameplay to near-perfection while delivering the clever puzzles, high production values and pure, rage-fueled brutality fans expect. Add a memorable cast of characters and buckets of gore, and Kratos's last adventure is also his best yet.

    Absolutely amazing game. The graphics, gameplay, characters, sound, environments, art-style, set-pieces, pacing, boss-fights, story and pure epicness are all masterfully done which makes for one of the best, most memorable gaming experiences ever. If you have a PS3 buy this game, it's as simple as that.… Expand

    I simply do not understand why this game is getting 100s from the majority of critics. yeah, it's a great game, it's very pretty, and very fun. But the fact still remains that there is almost no difference between all 4 god of war games, besides some graphical up grades.… Expand

    This game is so epic-epic in the way where you want to claw your eyes out from the sheer pain of playing the first chapter. The game designers have cleaverly used the same 'horse boss' numerous times- so if this doesnt bore you then you should see your local physicist- for you may be suffering from amnesia or short term memory loss… Expand
